User blog:Reep the Warrior/Grand Champion 2016 - Hordes vs Corsairs


 * Yes.


 * You heard it here first folks.


 * REEP LIVES O_o


 * Jk jk, anyways, yeah. I haven't been on wiki all that much lately, due to school, illness (I actually have a cold now dagnabbit), writing //original novels// O.O, and whatnot. Not to mention Marvel. But now I'm back, and picking up a project I started - when - last autumn already? It's Grand Champion 2016 (yes it was II instead of 2016 when I started but since it's been awhile I decided to change it to 2016 and pretend it was supposed to be an annual thing all along).


 * Now, to get down to business. Here's how it works:

How it Works
Most of you probably remember this from last time, but I'm putting it up as a reminder.

Round 1

 * We start out with 2 brackets, Corsair and Land Vermin. Each Bracket has 48 characters. These characters are paired up by species and-to some extent-character personality (to see these matches and divisions, see below) Anyways, this makes 24 matches. I'll post these matches as polls; then you guys will vote for the character you like best. The winners will then move on to Round 2, and so on...

Round 2

 * Now we have a total of 24 characters and 12 matches

Round 3

 * 12 characters, 6 matches, etc etc.

Round 4

 * Down to 6 guys and 3 matches.

Round 5

 * Now things get a little interesting. Since 3 doesn't divide very well, we have to hold a character back for the next round. The way I do this is to hold a round of all 3 for specified round, and save the one with the most votes. I would change the number of spots in each bracket, but if I try more there's more spots then eligible characters, and fewer there isn't enough spots to fill without me going nuts over who to pick.

Round 6

 * The final round of the bracket! The winner is the Grand Corsair/Hordebeast, and will go up against the top other guy to determine the Grand Champion!

The Brackets

 * At the end of the last tournament back in June; I included a poll to decide which groups the next tounrament should pitch against each other. Corsairs vs Warlords won that. However, I had to make a small edit to that, as I could not find enough characters who were in just hordes to fill a whole bracket. Instead it became Hordes and Bands/Tribes. I left out putting that in the title because it just sounded too long, and I could change it later if I anted to. Which I might, but not right away.


 * Here are the starting brackets I decided on, with the help of your nominations. Before I go into them I would like to note that I have categorized them from Redwall Wiki categories, so one or two characters who were formerly seabeasts or landbeasts will show up int the other bracket. These are the brackets:
